as at the present time. All of the
available land IN the Immediate vicini-
ty of the city has been divided into
building lots, new streets are being
laid out and city streets extended and
improved. Values have advanced SO
rapidly that real estate agents have
been kept busy in marking up prices
the recorder of deeds has been COM
PEELED to work extra hours in order to
keep up with the current work. That
this boom is not entirely in the inter-
ests of spectators, is evinced by the
fact that many Of the purchasers have
commenced the erection of houses.
Buildings are springing up like magic
in all sections of the city, and very
many of them are costly edifices which
pie from all sections of the country.
Nor is the spirit of activity
confined to private parties alone. The
| liberality of congress in providing APP
preparations for the erection of govern
ment buildings, and the Improvement
of parks and public grounds, has rem
dered it possible to carry into effect
many improvements long since con-
| templated, but which have not until
now been carried out on account of
lack of available funds. The work OF
clearing the site for the new congress
sional library building is nearly COM
| plet0 and work upon the excavation fol
| the foundation will be commenced at
once. The marble terrace about the
capitol building will soon be finished
and force of laborers have been set al
work upon the foundation of the grand
staircase which is to be built at the west
front of the building. The new fire.
proof building which is being built fol
| the army medical museum and medi
cal library for the surgeon generals
office will soon be completed.
Garfield, which is to be unveiled on thu
18th of May, has been placed upon its
pedestal at the Maryland avenue en-
trance to the capital grounds, and ii
considered to be one of the finest of the
numerous pieces of statuary in the
national capital. III.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %, ST.
The anniversary of the day upon which
the slaves in the District of Columbia
we're liberated is great day for colored
ton bad been made for celebrating the
twenty fifth anniversary on Monday
last, and had it not been for the in
clemency of the weather, there is no
doubt but that the parade would have
been the most gorgeous affair ever given
by the colcred people of the district.
The original plan contemplated re-
view by the president at the White
House at twelve o'clock, but it was late
in the afternoon before the procession
was formed and during the entire
march the rain fell in torrents. 1t can
readily be imagined that by the time the
White House grounds was reached the
procession presented sorry appear
ance The rain had completely wilted
the bright colored banners, uniforms
and sashes, and the Queen of Love
and Beauty" who was to have ridden
among her maids of honor upon
gaily decked wagon, was
consigned to huge covered
omnibus. Among the features of the
parade were colored military organize
lions of Washington, which we're out
in full force despite the rain, and they
presented very creditable appearance.
The president reviewed the parade
from the portico, and saluted the mar
shall as he passed by removing his hat
The exercises of the day were brought
to close by an evening meeting held
in Lincoln Memorial church. An adj
mission fee of fifteen cents had been
charged to the evening meeting, but
when Col. Williams, the orator Of the
evening learned of the fact he declared
that he would leave the hall il the
money was not returned, and the adj
mission fee was given to each person
in attendance before the exercises of
| the evening were commenced. The
meeting was well attended and the pro
ceedings were interesting.

Washington has there existed such 9

The coercion bill, which was a prom
inent point used in the late great
speech by senator Ingalls, at Topeka,
and which has created so much dissat-
isfaction in Ireland and among Irish
Americans in this country, is, in sub
stance, as follows:
/. Magistrates may examine wit
neSses on oath, even in cases where
no person is charged before them with
the cOmmittal of the crime which is
the subject of inquiry.
2. The jury system is abolished alto
gether for certain classes of crime pun
ishable by limited term of imprison-
ment. In other words, two stipendiary
magistrates are to have summary juris-
dicitiOn, and may impose sentences not
exceeding six months hard labor for
any of the following offences: Grim
inal conspiracy. boycotting, rioting, Of
fences under the Whiteboy acts; as
saulting officers of the law, taking for
chile unlawful possession, or melting to
any of the foregoing offences.
8. In jury trials the venue may be
changed on the certificate of the at
torney-general that fairer trial can
be had in some other place in Ireland.
A prisoner, however, is to have a right
to appeal against any proposed change
of venue.
4. In jury trials either the attorney
general or the prisoner may demand a
special jury.
5. In cases of murder, attempt to
murder, aggravated crimes of violence,
arson, or breaking or firing into dwell
ings the attorney generals for England
and Ireland together may certify that
fair trial can only be had in England
the state to pay expenses of carrying
prisoner, his witnesses, solicitor and
counsel to England.
8. These enactments are only to APP
ply to such districts of Ireland as may
be proclaimed by the lord lieutenant.
z. The lord lieutenant in council will
have power to declare it an offense
against the nation to have anything to
do with an association formed for the
purpose of commission of crimes or of
melting or-enabling persons to commit
crime, or of melting to intimidation, OF
of interfering with the administration
of the law or the maintenance of Or
der.
s. The act is to be permanent.

Last Saturday night burglars broke
into the home of Gov. C. v. Eskridge
ON Twelfth avenue, and stole about
$50 in money, and a gold watch Of the
Governor and Ed. Eskridge's shoes.
The entrance was effected through the
back kitchen window, the catch of
which they broke. They took the gov
ernor's clothing from a chair at the
bead of his bed, took them down stairs
and went through the pockets, They
also helped themselves to victuals and
had a very pleasant time before depar-
ting.
The cellar of Judge Cunningham 3
residence was also entered, but moth
ing was taken as far as has been dis
covered.
These burglaries will not cease with
this attempt and it behoOyes our peo-
pie to see that their windows and doors
are bOlted by heavy bolts and their val
uables deposited in safe places. 1t

Another reason for the present boom
in real estate in this city is the well
authenticated rumor that has been go
ing the rounds to the effect that the
Santa Fe has sold her Topeka shops to
the Rock Island and are going to build
shops at this place. This rumor is far
ther substantiated by the fact that the
Rock Island is running track direct
ly to the Santa Fe shops in Topeka.
And still further by the fact that rail-
road men of high standing in the San
ia Fe employ, have been for several
weeks back quietly buying up land in
the vicinity of the Santa Fe yards in
the CITY.

THE Eagle has got there. 1t took
thirteen hundred and forty pounds of
paper for this mornings edition of the
Eagle. over half a ton of white paper,
or eleven and a quarter bundles.
What that means, and the
circulation of the Eagle is will be under
stood by publishers without remarks.
1t is needless to remark that the
Eagles advertisers are getting the
worth oftheir money.-Wichita Eagle.
Eleven and quarter bundles, three
sheets to the paper, means just $500
copies of the Eagle. Well, the EN-
PoRIA NEWS gets larger edition than
that out every Saturday evening, and,
so far, has made no boast of the mat
Ter. We did not waste quite so much
white paper, maybe, in advertising ru-
raj residences for business blocks, but
we got out almost twice as many copies
of our paper as the Eagle boasts of,
and we are perfectly satisfied with our
advertising patronage. We gave the
Eagle folks credit for more shrewdness
than to give their boom circulation
away in this manner.
